York; -Q: ass z or r to Wood Newspaper Machinery Corporation, New-York,N.-Y., a corporation of virginia provide a positive sideregistering'means for use onthe reel carrying a' webroll into whichnode- 7 pendence will'be placed on springs for forcing" the'rollendwise; to provide a sturdy powerful mechanism so that the roll can bemoved easily in each of spindles without disturbing the positionof thespiders,,and to. providemeans'that will accur ately pre-register 'a webroll prior to the splicing operation.-

. Other-objects and advantages of the invention 1 Q willja'ppearhereinafter. 1.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which f azinereel for'carrying a'plurality of web rolls showing this inventionapplied thereto; Fig. 2 is an end view of thesame; i Fig. 31s averticalcentral sectional view of the' spindlechucksupporting device onone of the spiders; U V

This invention is shown as applied toa web splicing device which speedsup the fresh roll by a drive through the central axis thereof.

The machine embodies a frame Ill carrying a motor II which, throughsuitable speed reducing gearing l2, drives the main shaft l3 of thereel. The shaft carries secured thereto two bearings ll which arerotatably mounted in corresponding brackets IS on the two ends of theframe, which in itself constitutes the sub-structureof the press.

On the shaft l3 are mounted two spiders l6 fixed in angular relation tothe shaft butadapted iii to be moved longitudinally of the shaft toprovide for rolls of different widths. The shifting of the spiders I6individually or together is ac-. complished by means of a motor", whichis mounted on one of the bearings H for the shaft. This motor issuppliedwith electrical power by well known means, not illustrated, to rotatethe armature of the motor and transmit power from a pinion I8 on themotor shaft to a gear IS on a threaded member or shaft 20, the threadsof which mesh with two worm wheels 2|. These worm wheels are rotatablymounted on short shafts 22 and adapted to be connected thereto by aclutch 23 in each case., The shafts 22 are rotatably carried in the twospiders and have pinions 24 secured thereto; These pinions, in bothcases, mesh with a rack 25 whichextends across the machine and isembedded in the shaft 13.

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a rotatablemagmucus, 1e31, 4 g r a 4 (c1.242 s8)..;;

, pr ipal. objects of this invention are to 7 an obvious' manner theseIli and' the rack 25 serve to'walk the spiders longitudinally along theshaftl3 when power is applied to the shafts 22, bythe connection o'f theclutches;

Suitable handles 26 are provided with-eccentric projections 21forshifting the clutches 23: The motor [1 therefore can to rotate thethreaded member 20 and: by the engagement."- of either or both clutches23, eitherspide'r oriboth 2 maybe moved longitudinally to provideformils applied; .that type of splicingdevic' m which the power forrotating the fresh w'eb roll S may be applied through a spindle shaft 29arranged of 'difie'rent widths or to place them indifferent locationsfor purposes tobe understood"readily. As stated, theinventionis shownherein i to drive the-fresh roll through its center orn for braking nemergency stops. Thisshaft 2910- tates with the -reel an'd extendsthrough or into the center of the spindle chuck 31 mounted on i theleft-hand spider, as" shown. This ispindle shaft is carried ina-ball-.bearing'30. The spindle I 29 is held longitudinally by thesecuring of the ball bearing in the spider by a" seal'ring' 3| and astop on the-other endof the shaft 29 not shownf An overhanging portionof the seal 3| acts as a locating member for-an adjusting handwheel'32by the use ofa ring 33 secured thereto.

The threaded interior of the adjusting wheel 32 cooperateswith athreadedsleeve 34 which,

through a retainer 35, is secured to the outer race 1 of a ball bearing36. Thus any rotation of' the adjusting wheel 32 causes the sleeve 34 tomove to the right or left as viewedin Fig.3. movement will move the ballbearing f36 and spindle chuck 31 in a like manner since the in-:

side race of the ball bearing, 36 isgsecur'ed by a retainer 38 to thespindle chuck 31. Thespindle chuck 31 is splined to the spindle shaft 29and is provided with a key 39 which may be used to cooperate with akeyway in the inside of the core 0f the paper roll S. The sleeve 34 hasa milled 'out portion 40 accommodating a projection ll extending fromthe seal plate-3l and thereby secures the sleeve 34- against anyrotation due to friction in the ballbearing 36 or to rotation of theadjusting wheel 32. V

Fig. 4 shows a latching spindle at thehother end of the reel where it isnot necessary to provide a splined chuck carrying a key. A cylinder I 42is mounted in an arm of the spider and permitted certain longitudinalmotion by a pilot screw 43.
